From 2008-2012 soundcloud low key launched a lot of artists careers that would of never been heard otherwise...like MySpace kind of.

Changed electronic music forever.

I don't even know how some radio stations would exist without it.

SoundCloud has been searching for ways to capitalize off its 175 million monthly users and monetize aspects of its services.
SoundCloud has announced a new deal that should ease tensions with music industry executives. Since the popular online audio distribution platform previously didn't operate with formal licensing contracts, it did notpay royalties.

On Thursday (June 4) the Berlin-based company reached an agreement with Merlin that will allow SoundCloud to continue to host music from artists that belong to nearly 20,000 independent record labels, The New York Times reports.

Last month, SoundCloud struck a similar deal with the National Music Publishers' Association.

“Independent creators have always been at the core of SoundCloud, and with this partnership we’re thrilled to extend new revenue-generating opportunities to thousands of independent labels,” Alexander Ljung, one of the founders of SoundCloud, said in a statement.

SoundCloud has been searching for ways to capitalize off its 175 million monthly users and monetize aspects of its services to pay out royalties. Advertisements were added to the site this year.

Just put ads up and call it a day. What's next, Twitter will start charging? FOH. Their little pay for basic web stats which should already be free is corny as hell so I know this will be too.

Instagram is about to have ads now.
